Phosphoglycerate phosphatase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a phosphoglycerate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- D-glycerate 2-phosphate + H2O D-glycerate + phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are D-glycerate 2-phosphate and H2O, whereas its two products are D-glycerate and phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-glycerate-2-phosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include D-2-phosphoglycerate phosphatase, and glycerophosphate phosphatase.
